Sensation & Perception ch.4 by Alex
  1. psychophysics – the study of how physical stimuli are translated into psychological experience
    1. absolute threshold: stimuli intenseness that is detected 50% of the time
      1. Weber’s fraction: amount of change to notice something has changed
      2. Sensory Adaptation: getting used to stimuli because theres no new changes
      3. The Eye
        1. Amplitude: lets us see brightness
          1. Wave length lets us see colours
            1. Waves are from electro magnetic radiation
          2. Lens: transparent and lets us focus on things close or far clearly
            1. Retina: receives light and turns it to signals the brain can interpret
              1. Blindspot: where optic nerve attaches there are no rods or cones
                1. Dark adaption: eye becomes more sensitive to light in dark areas
                2. Vision pathway is light, retina, optic nerve, thalamus, primary & secondary visual cortex
                  1. Feature detectors: help us see complex details
                    1. Conor vision is visible by wave different lengths, Trichromatic Theory is the use of three colours being added or subtracted to make all colors
                      1. Perception
                        1. Reversible figures: shift back & forth
                          1. Inattention blindness: can't see other things while focusing on something
                            1. Bottom up processing: seeing elements that make a whole
                              1. Top down processing: Whole to elements
                          2. Distal stimuli: away from body
                            1. Proximal Stimuli: things get smaller or larger from distance
                              1. Depth perception: Stimuli for how near or far something is
                          3. Retinal disparity: with 2 eyes they see slightly different due to location
                            1. Convergence: eyes turning toward or away from each other due to focusing
                            2. Motion parallax: how fast something looks when near or far
                              1. Pictorial depth cues: clues about distance in a flat picture
                                1. Perceptual consistency: further objects look smaller but are still the same size
                            3. The Ear
                              1. Measured in sound waves, frequency is pitch, amplitude is loudness & purity
                                1. Auditory Localization: knowing where sound came from
                                2. The Kinesthetic System: knows relative body position
                                  1. The Vestibular System : body’s location in space, balance or equilibrium, works with semicircular canals in the inner ear
